NOS 1984 Ford F-SERIES PICKup sales brochure
My son has a 1984 F150 with 4.9L engine which he loves dearly. I had the opportunity to get this brochure and will give it to him to keep with his truck. As I looked through it, I was pleased to read what was published in 1984 and thought I would share a few tidbits. It covers most models, so if anyone has a question, fire away!
"The 4.9L Six is now controlled by the sophisticated EEC-IV electronic engine control system (trucks under 8,500 lb. GVWR). EEC-IV: Intelligent Management of Power. A computer, EEC-IV has the ability to digest an astonishing number of engine control commands - thousands of commands per second! With this capacity, EEC-IV provides instaneous precise control over engine operation throughout the full range of driver commands and engine load conditions. It's features include: SELF TEST - to aid in system diagnostics; SPARK CONTROL - for precise ignition timing throughout the range of engine operation; "KEEP ALIVE" MEMORY - to adjust engine functions based on component wear".
Recommended oil change interval for the 4.9L was 10,000 miles.
Interesting reading!

I can attest to that. My truck has that system and it works great, as long as it is maintained.

Ah. I have a better understanding of it now. I had no idea they ever run anything like that on a carb. Always learning something new. I looked up a bit on google, and seen there was a bit of a struggle on the processor, ram, etc.
